and at the same time I'm thinking....AWWW! I am hoping Bullitt gets fixed back to "normal" ASAP. It's hard to see a good lookin' Scion tC in that kind of shape!

Long story, short. My PC cookies deleted all my saved usernames and passwords. Now! I tried getting new password BUT my e-mail address is inactive. I had special domain that AOL let me have until last month when they decided to offer that "Domain" services for a simple monthly charge. I'm not comfortable giving my credit card to these people. When e-mail should be free.
 
Lucky for me I changed all my more important usernames few months ago to different e-mails before this happened. Only down, I have to make new accounts with those sites.

2,600 ish for body shop repair for exterior. We haven't looked in the engine bay yet since I'm still driving in it. Could be even more damage.
 
Good news! No more rock chips, no more foglight sealant gone bad, I'm not giving them my front plate so they can't drill new license plate holes into the new bumper. LOL
 
Car still idles rough going to a stop or sitting at the light. But once he driving, he's fine! His start-ups even in the Tundra conditions last week, he started just as good before the accident.

Regarding this Problem
 
Jan 24, 2009
 
The problem we are having with our 2006 TC is that the backing plate that the emergency brake hardware is mounted to is bent out, that is where the noise is coming from regarding the grinding sound, again the backing plate is rubbing against the rotors causing that noise and its a bad noise with ours, slows the car down and reduces gas mileage etc, we are taking it to the dealership and are interested to see what they say.

so, the accident damage is fixed, on the body at least? Good news. Good idea not to give them the front plate, too, saves on extra bumper holes indeed.
 
Hope your tC's engine is unscathed. Were you mentioning radiator damage in the beginning, too? Or am I imagining tC injuries that aren't there?

Well???? Body shop has pushed back the delivery date AGAIN. To Feb 4th. They have found additional $2,000+ worth of damage like engine mounts and minor front frame damage. There's probably other damage the estimator didn't say over the phone.
 
I've been without a car for five days so far! I'm so going to personally kill this kid if I ever see him again in a dark alley. LOL I SO have "Cabin Fever."
 
What "P"'s me off the most, I've been driving with my brake light on. That Friday before the accident; I went to the dealer for a Coolant Flush and brake check. They wanted to charge me $500's for new rear brake rotors and pads! When last year, front rotors and pads didn't even cost me $400 bucks! So I declined the brake service and let my cousin do it for me. The morning of the accident, I was supposed to pick up "set a side order" basic OEM rotors and pads from Advance Auto then take the car to my cousin. So I drove three weeks with brake light completely ON and the car probably doesn't even have one bottle of Brake Fluid in him! All because I couldn't open my hood.
 
Since I'm waiting: I doing something little more OEM.
 

 
Slotted-Drilled rotors; keeps brake pads nice and cool.

slotted rotors, andeet. Makes good sense for brake pad cooling.

Here's the list:
 
New hood, new front bumper, new left headlight, new driver's side fender, new engine mount, new windshield washer reservoir, replaced A/C pipe, replaced hood cable and lever. Paint and refinishing.
 
PLUS!!! Repaired front frame damage.
 
All this cost my insurance company $5,631.00; all because the little brat who caused the accident didn't have insurance! :flame:

I think this was the only option to hold my foglights in place? LOL
 
I wanted new foglights anyway.

now, do you know if your car insurance rates will rise because of this?
 
BTW-your tC looks great once again! And to have all of that snow and ice off of it helps, too.

Yep!
 
I'm still thinking about suing the kid for the deductible with a lawyer?
 
Lets see here; my car's value decrease due to being in accident (no matter what), my rates are going to increase, there's possibility that my car's safety isn't the same and if I'm another accident down the road; I can get seriously hurt. All this because some dumba$$ kid couldn't wait for ONE second!
